According to the CMI, employers must change their attitude towards technology and harness the familiarity of younger managers with new technologies.

Jo Causon, director corporate affairs at CMI, said, "Failure to do so will lead to frustration and loss of top talent or even open the door for competitors to build advantage through a better equipped and enabled workforce."

Many respondents said employers do not match their enthusiasm for technology. Only 12% said organisations tracked technology trends.

Some 26% said employers waited too long and used only tried-and-tested technology, while 10% described their employers as "dinosaurs" when it came to technology.

Jan Hutchinson, director of HR and corporate services at Ordnance Survey, said the longer the situation continues, the greater the likelihood that UK employers will fall behind international competitors.
